UCLA Attachment Research Center

The UCLA Attachment Research Center is a specialized facility dedicated to studying attachment theory, which explores how early relationships with caregivers shape emotional development and interpersonal connections. Researchers examine how secure or insecure attachments formed in childhood can influence behavior, mental health, and relationships later in life. The center conducts various studies, aiming to improve our understanding of attachment styles and their impact on individuals and families. By doing so, it contributes valuable insights to psychology, therapy, and education, ultimately promoting healthier relationships and emotional well-being throughout the lifespan.
